The AtticFund has an &#8216;ok&#8217; start. Up 7.7% after 6 weeks. It&#8217;s not bad and its not great.
But I find myself in a &#8216;mental place&#8217; that is preventing me from getting invested. There are a number of reasons for this.

No blog posts since 10th May and no trades since the 5th May!
There are two reasons for this lull in activity.
